"Yes, I will definitely abide by what I have said." As soon as Xianyue finished speaking, Su said again: "You will not persecute me and Yongzhang?"
Xianyue's eyes turned cold, she turned around and said in the cold silver light: "You are not qualified to bargain with me."
Under the moonlight that shone into the room, Mrs. Su's face was as pale as paper. She understood that as the saying goes, you can't escape a crime, but you can avoid a death sentence. Even if she survives, she may not be as comfortable as she is now, and she may very well go back to the way she was before.
Working in the dark.
Her body had been ruined by nearly ten years of hard work. Now she often felt weak and out of breath. If the weather was bad, the joints in her hands would hurt like knives. If she were allowed to go back to the days like before, she would be afraid.
She couldn't survive for a few more years, but as the saying goes, it was better to die than live. If she could live, she really didn't want to die, and only by living could she have a chance, even though... this chance was extremely slim.
After a long time, Su finally made up her mind and gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you!"
In response to her words, Xianyue just smiled slightly, and her rose-gold sleeves made a dazzling trace in the night, "Let's go."
When they arrived at the Yangxin Hall, the palace attendant immediately came forward and bowed, and then went inside to report. After a while, he came out and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please come in."
Xianyue nodded slightly and led Su and others inside. As soon as she entered the palace, she saw Qiao Yan'er also there. The latter saw her coming in and saluted calmly, "I have met the Queen.
Wish you all the best."
Hongli stared at Xianyue with a gloomy expression, and said coldly: "Why did the queen come to Yangxin Hall late at night, and brought Su family here, and..." He pointed to the honey and the knife that had not been washed away.
Jiang Feng, who looked embarrassed due to his injuries, asked, "What's going on with him?"
Xianyue withdrew her gaze from Qiao Yan'er, lowered her eyes and said, "To inform Your Majesty, I have just learned of something extremely important, and I really don't dare to delay it."
A trace of helplessness flashed across Hongli's eyes, and he said, "Why is it so important?"
"Qiao Yan'er once said that she saw Zheng Jiu feeding crows with her own eyes. In fact, this was a lie she made up. She didn't see anything at all. However, Ye Fang, Fu Tai, Zhang Quan, Jiang Feng and Su Shi,
They are all her accomplices."
Hongli glanced at Qiao Yan'er and said: "Is the queen mistaken? Qiao Yan'er is just a palace maid, how could she have such ability? And Jiang Feng... I remember that she is your palace servant."
"Returning to the emperor, there was a drought in the capital last year. I saw that Jiang Feng had a heart to understand the suffering, which was quite rare, so I transferred him to serve beside me. Little did I know that all this was arranged by the Su family, and Jiang Feng was also arranged by her.
people."
Hongli was extremely surprised. He stared at the silent Su and said, "Is this really so?"
Su sighed secretly in her heart and said helplessly: "Yes, the slave was unwilling to be trapped in Xin Zhe's library, so she arranged for Jiang Feng to enter the palace, hoping that he could help the slave get out of the predicament. After that, he followed Qiao Yan'er on the way
, found that his behavior was strange and that he was related to Ye Fang and others. However, because of the slave's instructions, he did not tell the Queen about these things, but hid them, so that
The emperor has been deceived by his lies." After saying that, she knelt down and begged for mercy: "I know that I have made a big mistake, but I have no choice but to do so. Over the years, I have been trapped in Xinzhe's library, even my own biological son.
The sons are gone, and Yongxun treats me as a stranger. I feel really sad, so I did this, and I ask the emperor to spare me this time."
Hongli thought for a moment and said, "According to your words, Yongzhang is also involved in this matter?"
Su secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, Yongzhang refused at first, but he couldn't stop me from pleading with him, so he reluctantly agreed. Please don't blame him, Your Majesty."
"Begging in every possible way?" Hongli sneered and said, "You don't have to take everything on your shoulders. Yongzhang obeys your words and even murders the queen for you, so how can he refuse your request?"
Seeing that he had seen through her own thoughts, Mrs. Su did not dare to deceive her with lies anymore, and said: "No matter what, Yongzhang is the emperor's son. Now that he is imprisoned in the clan's mansion, he is really pitiful. What's more,
Please, for the sake of the love between father and son, your Majesty, please stop blaming him; all of this is my slave's fault, and Yongzhang would not have done those things if it were not for my slave."
Hongli snorted coldly and said: "I locked you up in Xinzheku to let you reflect on the mistakes you made. Now it seems that you have no intention of reflecting at all; I shouldn't let you live this long at all."
Ten years!" After that, he said in a cold voice: "Someone, drag this bitch and Jiang Feng down and kill them with sticks!"
Mrs. Su quickly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This time, I have truly realized my mistake and will never make the same mistake again. Please forgive me for your kindness in giving birth to two brothers for the Emperor."
Servant once!"
"It's because of my past love that I let you live to this day. It's a pity... you won't change your stubbornness. It's not a pity to die!" Hongli said two words "death" in one sentence, which shows his deep love for the Su family.
Hate.
Su said with tears: "I know that I have made a big mistake, but the reason why I did so much is because I want to return to the emperor. For more than ten years, I have been thinking about the emperor all the time. If I could turn back time, I would definitely do it."
Not again…”
"That's enough!" Hongli shouted loudly and glared: "Do you think I will still believe your sweet words? I have said that you - death is not a pity!"
Su Shi heard the unchangeable murderous intention in Hongli's words and trembled all over. She quickly crawled to Xiayue and said in a panic: "My queen, you said that as long as I tell the truth, you will protect my life.
Please help me quickly plead with the emperor for mercy."
Xianyue lowered her eyes and said: "Ms. Su, I'm afraid she remembered it wrong. I never said the words 'save your life'. I only said that I would spare your life. But now, I am not the one who wants to kill you.
But it’s the Emperor, and I can’t do anything about it.”
Hearing these words, Mrs. Su's face turned green and white, looking ugly as if it was about to burst. The next moment, a sharp voice sounded in the Yangxin Hall, as if it was about to cut through everyone's eardrums, "You lied to me! Nala Xianyue, you
Trick me!"
Xianyue looked at her expressionlessly and said, "I never tricked you, you just took it for granted."
Su Shi shook her head vigorously and murmured: "No! I am the biological mother of the two elder brothers. None of you can kill me, no!" At this point, she stood up suddenly, pointed at Xianyue and said sternly:
"If you harm me like this, if I were a ghost, I would haunt you every day and make you sleepless day and night!"
Hongli didn't want to see her again, and said to the guards standing aside in disgust: "Pull her down!"
